CroatiaA former Olympic marathon runner, Daniel Ferreira do Nascimento (known as Danielzinho), was found alive after being missing for 44 days in São Paulo, Brazil. He disappeared on June 19 while living in the town of Paraguaçu Paulista, where he had been residing since his suspension from athletics in 2024 due to doping violations. A passerby recognized him and alerted authorities, who confirmed his identity and took him into custody. According to his mother, Daniel had left home around 7 PM carrying only a black backpack. His family launched social media campaigns and appeals for information during his disappearance. Upon his return to police custody, Daniel stated he had walked approximately 370 kilometers from Ourinhos to São Paulo, surviving by eating sugarcane and oranges and drinking water from gas stations when possible. His mother mentioned that Daniel struggled with mental health issues after retiring from sports and had been under her care, accompanying her to work daily. Despite his suspension, Daniel remained active in training secretly within sugarcane fields. He represented Brazil at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics and set a South American marathon record in 2022 before his ban.
